I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 10 friends and classmates each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or coordinate ride shares with roommates, classmates, or campus peers to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
